Juror Rebecca Houck said,
“I try to keep in mind several criteria when choosing the pieces to be award winners.

1. The piece had to grab me to get my attention and hold it. 2. It had to contain the basic elements of art; good design, composition, balance color, perspective, variety with unity, etc. 3. It had to show a proficient mastery of watermedia. 4. It’s presentation was appropriate with matting and framing."
